SECTION 110
Decision by a Reformed Dutch or Reformed Presbyterian church as to system of incorporation and government
Religious Corporations (RCO) CHAPTER 51, ARTICLE 6
§ 110. Decision by a Reformed Dutch or Reformed Presbyterian church as
to system of incorporation and government. The minister or ministers, if
there be any, and the elders and deacons of an unincorporated church in
connection with the Reformed church in America, the true Reformed Dutch
church in the United States of America, or with the Reformed
Presbyterian church, may determine to incorporate such church in
pursuance of this article, or to call a meeting of such unincorporated
church for the purpose of deciding whether such church shall be
incorporated in pursuance of article ten of this chapter, entitled
"Special provisions for the incorporation and government of churches of
other denominations."

If such ministers, elders and deacons determine to call such meeting
for such purpose, then such church may be incorporated and shall be
governed after its incorporation in pursuance of the provisions of
article ten of this chapter, except such provisions thereof as are
applicable to churches of a single denomination only, and except that
the notice of the meeting for incorporation shall be signed by such
ministers, elders and deacons or a majority of them, and no other
signatures thereto shall be necessary to its validity; and, if it be a
Reformed church in America, it shall, after incorporation, be governed
by such of the provisions of this article as relates to its consistory
and to the choice of its minister.
